Floreat stormed to victory after trailing early with Lewis McMahon scoring a hat-trick, Kris Gate and Jonathan Stynes both netting doubles while Ludovic Boi and Bobby Wilson also got on the score sheet.

Inglewood had taken the lead through Tim Robertson in the 9th minute before an avalanche of Floreat goals swamped the home side, whose second goal was scored by Mark Pritchard.

Floreat coach Glen Grostate attributed the nine-goal haul to his side’s determination to reach a cup final and a potential interstate fixture in the knockout stage.

“We’ve got so much quality in our team and we just feel like we can do this,” Grostate said.

“We had a game plan and it worked. Everybody closed down their [opposing] players at the right time.”
